Inflation Calculator
Convert an amount from one year to another using US consumer price averages. See the change as dollars and a percent. Estimate of buying power — not a forecast.
Frequently asked questions
Which prices are used?
Annual US CPI-U style averages for consumer prices, not housing alone or any single product. Values for 2025–2026 are rounded published or estimated figures.
Is this a prediction of future inflation?
No. It converts historical price levels for planning and curiosity. Future inflation is unknown — treat results as estimates only.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. This calculator runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded.
